I'm struck by the unique building on the left. It doesn't appear to fit any one architectural style.
The bottom columns look as if they could have been inspired by Egyptian tombs, while the third floor with it's deeply recessed windows
looks almost bunker-like. All that said, the second floor is probably the most intriguing with it's hard to describe 'blocky' design.
The Merritt Building has caught your interest before.
